چکیده

We proposed a test for assessing multivariate normality of the high-dimensional data which the dimension is larger than the sample size. The classical tests based on the sample measures of multivariate skewness and kurtosis defined by Mardia (1970) or Srivastava (1984) do not work for the high-dimensional case. The proposed test does not require explicit conditions on the relationship between the data dimension and sample size. An application of the proposed test is assessing multivariate normality of gene data, which we demonstrate as an numerical study.

On the Canonical-Based Goodness-of-fit Tests for Multivariate Skew-Normality

It is well-known that the skew-normal distribution can provide an alternative model to the normal distribution for analyzing asymmetric data. The aim of this paper is to propose two goodness-of-fit tests for assessing whether a sample comes from a multivariate skew-normal (MSN) distribution. We address the problem of multivariate skew-normality goodness-of-fit based on the empirical Laplace tra...

A new test for multivariate normality by combining extreme and nonextreme BHEP tests

In this paper we propose a new multiple test procedure for assessing multivariate normality which combines BHEP (Baringhaus-Henze-Epps-Pulley) tests by considering extreme and non-extreme choices of the tuning parameter in the definition of the BHEP test statistic. Monte Carlo power comparisons indicate that the new test presents a reasonable power against a wide range of alternative distributi...

An affine invariant multiple test procedure for assessing multivariate normality

Amultiple test procedure for assessing multivariate normality (MVN) that combines a finite set of affine invariant test statistics for MVN is proposed. This combination is based on a method introduced by Fromont and Laurent (Ann. Statist., 680–720, 34, 2006) that can be viewed as an improvement of the classical Bonferroni’s method. The usefulness of such approach is illustrated through a multip...

MVN: An R Package for Assessing Multivariate Normality

Assessing the assumption of multivariate normality is required by many parametric multivariate statistical methods, such as MANOVA, linear discriminant analysis, principal component analysis, canonical correlation, etc. It is important to assess multivariate normality in order to proceed with such statistical methods. There are many analytical methods proposed for checking multivariate normalit...

On the choice of the smoothing parameter for the BHEP goodness-of-fit test

Abstract: The BHEP test for assessing univariate and multivariate normality introduced by Epps and Pulley (Biometrika 70 (1983) 723) and Baringhaus and Henze (Metrika 35 (1988) 339) has shown to be a relevant test procedure, recommended in some recent comparative studies. It is well known that the finite sample behaviour of the BHEP goodness-of-fit test strongly depends on the choice of a smoot...
